Actor Benedict Cumberbatch officiated over the wedding of a gay
friend on Saturday.

Cumberbatch, who last week received an Emmy nomination for the
BBC/HBO five-part mini-series Parade's End, officiated the
Ibiza, Spain wedding of his friends Seth Cummings and Rob Ridner.

The 37-year-old Cumberbatch (Star Trek Into Darkness)
previously discussed his new role as officiant but the disclosure
that the couple is gay was made in a Facebook post from one of the
guests.

“It's a very private, lovely thing to be asked to do,"
Cumberbatch told Vulture.com.
“Of course, I'm going to make a joke after it, 'I do weddings.
Next will be children's parties and bat mitzvahs,' if it goes well.
It's a mainly Jewish and gay audience, so hopefully they will be
lenient towards me.”
